When the nail plate absorbs too much water, it can cause the nails to become soft and weak, leading to splitting and peeling. Therefore, it is true that too much water can cause these issues with the nail plate.

A. A nail technician is not a doctor nor dermatologist and should not diagnose any medical condition
C. Refer the client to a GP or specialist if there is doubt about a condition, do not continue treatment

Explanation
A nail technician is not qualified to diagnose medical conditions as they are not doctors or dermatologists.

This ensures that the client receives proper medical attention and avoids any potential harm or complications.

  Over filing, bad filing techniques
- B.
  
  Aggressive handling of natural nail
- C.
  
  Professionally applying nail enhancements

Correct Answer(s)
A. Over filing, bad filing techniques
B. Aggressive handling of natural nail
D. Improper use of products

Explanation
A nail technician may damage a natural nail by over filing, bad filing techniques, aggressive handling of the natural nail, and improper use of products. Over filing can weaken and thin out the natural nail, making it more prone to breakage. Bad filing techniques, such as filing in the wrong direction or using too much pressure, can cause the nail to become weak and brittle. Aggressive handling of the natural nail, such as pulling or yanking on it, can cause damage and even lead to the nail lifting or separating from the nail bed. Improper use of products, such as using harsh chemicals or not following the manufacturer's instructions, can also cause damage to the natural nail.

Correct Answer
B. Diet, vitamin or mineral intake

Explanation
Diet, vitamin or mineral intake does not affect nail growth. Nail growth is primarily determined by factors such as the season, pregnancy, and stimulation of circulation in the nail matrix and nail bed. While a balanced diet and proper intake of vitamins and minerals are important for overall health, they do not have a direct impact on the rate of nail growth.
